June 11, 2009: Snow Creek Recalls Beef Trim Products

June 11th, 2009

Snow Creek Meat Processing, Seneca, South Carolina, is recalling approximately 75 pounds of fresh beef trim products because the beef may be contaminated with the foodborne pathogen  E. coli O157:H7.

The following beef products are subject to the recall:

Various sizes of Cryovac bags of “BEEF TRIMMINGS, BEEF ITEM” packed in boxes. Each box bears the establishment number “EST. 20478″ inside the USDA mark of inspection and a “Sell By” date of “06/02/09.”

The recall beef trim products were produced on June 2, 2009, and distributed to retail establishments in North Carolina and South Carolina for further processing.

E. coli O157:H7 food poisoning can be fatal.  Symptoms of infection may include severe abdominal cramps, fever, and watery diarrhea. The diarrhea may become bloody and can lead to dehydration. Severe infections can cause kidney failure. The very young, elderly, and immunocompromised are at greatest risk for experiencing complications due to E. coli infection.

If you are experiencing E. coli food poisoning symptoms or have a health related question, contact your healthcare professional.  He or she can order a stool culture which can confirm E. coli infection.

If you are diagnosed with E. coli, are awaiting medical confirmation of infection, or have a question regarding your legal rights, please submit a Free Legal Case Evaluation or call the Law Firm of Eric H. Weinberg toll free at 1-877-934-6274.
